So, for about a week now I have been talking about this Ritani trunk sale that Mervis Diamond Importers was having today. I told Joe it was 25% off and they looked nice, so I was going to check it out. I said if I found something I liked, I was likely going to buy it. He said ok.
So, today I get up and go about noonish. When I get there, they show me this amazing eternity band that is just about exactly what I am looking for. It's white gold, shared-prong, and about 1.5 carats tw. It's perfect. So, I ask them how much it would be and they say $2600. Now, it may seem like a lot, but that's the best price for product I've come across so far. I mean, the 1 carat NON-ENTERNITY band at Zales is $2400, so it's like way better. And it looked beautiful with the engagement ring.
So, I snap a pic and send it to Joe. I wait a few minutes, then give him a call. At first, he doesn't seem that interested. I tell him to check the pic and call me back. When he does, I ask him what he thinks and he says, "it just seems like a lot of money to spending in a recession." I was like, so you don't want me to get it? He asked why I had to pay a deposit today...I said, well, because it's a one-day sale. You know, like Macy's one day only sales...
THEN...he starts going on about how this "whole thing is getting pretty expensive." I didn't have much to say... I mean, it's true, our wedding is expensive, but we knew that from the get go. Never once has he said anything about how much everything costs... And I've covered almost all of the payments so far, so really it hasn't affected him at all! I mean, I've plunked down about $9K this far, and he's not even to $1k yet! Now, that's not totally fair because he paid for the engagement ring... But it's the point. And so, here I am...
Eh, what can I do?
